Glossary

This glossary includes definitions for terminology used in this user guide.

8e6 supplied category - A library category that was created by 8e6, and includes a list of URLs, URL keywords, and search engine keywords to be blocked.

always allowed - A filter category or port given this desig- nation will be included in the white list.

block setting - A setting assigned to a service port or library category when creating a rule, or when setting up a filtering profile or the minimum filtering level. If an item is given a block setting, users will be denied access to it.

custom category - Includes the ALLOW and BLOCK library categories maintained by an administrator, and include URLs, URL keywords, and search engine keywords to be passed or blocked. Group administrators manage the ALLOW and BLOCK custom library categories for their own group.

filter setting - A setting made for a service port. A service port with a filter setting uses filter settings created for library categories (block, open, or always allow settings) to deter- mine whether users should be denied or allowed access to that port.

global administrator - An authorized administrator of the network who maintains all aspects of the ProxyBlocker, except for managing master IP groups and their members, and their associated filtering profiles. The global adminis- trator configures the ProxyBlocker, sets up master IP groups, and performs routine maintenance on the server.
